I would prefer the sword, too. Because he have a shoulder-mounted gun and I think, a nice close-combat weapon would be a good choice. But I would prefer a slim energysword, not a crude chainsword. Like a rapier.

Cheers fellas! It looks very likely that I'll end up choosing sword. It won't be a crude and thick as the one shown in the picture, much slimmer and finer, like the rapier in Inquisitor Cassar's drawn version.

Logan, the head is from Chaos Space Marines Lord package. I removed his collar and sculpted the hair on his bald head. It was the only head that could accept in Cassar's case...

Outstanding work. Your inventiveness is unceasing. I think the chainsword works better, from a compositional point of view. The gun leaves the legs a little bare. The pock-marked tilt shield is brilliant; stealing this idea...
